We are heartbroken and outraged at the deaths of George Floyd & Breonna Taylor, two of the multitude of deaths of black Americans at the hands of law enforcement officials. Bigotry and racism are rampant in our country. Today we once again affirm that we stand with our brothers and sisters of color, declaring wholeheartedly that we are with you. We see you. We hear you. We support you.

Leviticus 19:16 teaches us not to stand idly by the blood of our neighbors. It is our Jewish obligation for pikuach nefesh, saving lives, that we work together to ensure safety, justice, and dignity for all. Each person is created b’tzelem Elohim, in the image of God. All lives are precious. We pray for peace and remain steadfast in our pursuit of justice for all.

Temple Sinai was one of several local Jewish Organizations awarded a grant by the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester from the COVID-19 Community Relief and Recovery Fund.

The Relief and Recovery Fund was established by the Federation to help Jewish institutions manage through the COVID-19 crisis, address social service needs, and provide emergency assistance to community members in need. The fund is made possible by the generous donations of individuals and organizations throughout the Greater Rochester area.

We are fortunate to be recipients under the COVID-19 Community Relief and Recovery Fund and sincerely thank the Jewish Federation of Greater Rochester for their continued support of Temple Sinai as we work to engage our congregation and sustain a vital and relevant synagogue in these unprecedented times.
